I'm an American, and Terry Pratchett is my all-time favorite author. I'm getting I Shall Wear Midnight as a birthday present, actually. Otherwise I would have read it already. Birthday's on Tuesday.

You can probably tell that I'm a Pratchett fan by looking at my sig.

ooh, yeah! im trying to find a copy of Bad Omens, a collab with Niel Gaiman.

At the moment though, im reading Lolita by Nabokov! best written book of the century!

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girls an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

sorry, couldn't resist.

Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost

You might have a problem with that, since Pratchett and Gaiman didn't write anything called Bad Omens. They did write something called Good Omens, though, which I highly recommend.

On a side note, I greatly enjoyed I Shall Wear Midnight. The next book on my list is Against All Things Ending, the newest book in Stephen R. Donaldson's epic fantasy saga The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.

That's where I got my username, actually. I've been waiting for this book for forever. Can't wait to read it.

I finished ''the third ape'' by Jared Diamond a couple of weeks ago, now I'm reading ''music and brains'' by Daniel J. Levitin in school during pauses and in home I'm reading ''The wordbook of ignorance'' by Kathrin Pasig and Alex Scholz.
The book ''music and brains'' and the one topic on determinism has made me interested in how brains work, so I think I'll start looking for something like ''brains for dummies'' or something.
